Deriving energy and perspective from the tropics;
its atmospheric light.
Gestures motivate natural impulses and energetic brushstrokes,
in painting landscape, environments, flowers,
diving into a range of emotions -

I live in a place
where leaves violently zip through a neon sky
And uncertainty looms with the inaccuracy of a third world weather report .
There’s a choking restlessness - being stuck on an island and trapped in Eden
The changing tropical textures impose their vibrancy to the work, motivating the practice.
Landscapes bursting out of the seams,
out of the canvas, and into a world.

You never see the sun but you're pretty sure it's blazing painfully above.
Sometimes it's misty, and you can't see too far, and the vines are dropping, twisting recklessly .
Imagined, self-possessed environments bathed in color.
